Line no. 3 was originated from the Enghave-line, which was established in 1901.

Line no. 3 was one of the few lines, which have used double-decker streetcars, which were in use until 1924.

In 1915 the line was extended and the double-decker streetcars could not be used at the the new part, so people had to change streetcar.

Line no. 3 could not use the very last type of streetcars used in Copenhagen because the line had some very sharp turns.

The last day for the line to be a streetcar line was April the 27th 1968. The nickname of the line was: The Angel because of the white colors of the lanterns.
